Ye Beiping squatted down in front of his grandmother and handed her the popsicle: "My sister is working. I haven't come to see you for a long time, so I came to see you and Grandpa."
My grandmother's memories are still from before she went to prison.
After being released from prison in her previous life, my grandmother couldn't bear the fate of her daughter and granddaughter, fell ill, and passed away after lying at home for a year.
Ye Beiping felt very guilty about this.
Perhaps if that incident hadn't happened, perhaps if I hadn't gone to jail, my mother, sister, and grandmother wouldn't have left me.
"Good, good, good, filial child." Grandma suddenly felt something icy cold in her hand, looked down at the popsicle, and asked, "What is this? A popsicle?"
"Yes, Grandma. I sell popsicles now. I just ran into Uncle in the fields, so I brought one over to you and Grandpa."
"Grandma, no, Beiping, keep it for yourself." Although Grandma was old, her hands were still very fast.
If Ye Beiping hadn't dodged, the popsicle would probably have been shoved back into his hand.
"Grandma, I have some, please have some. I'll take one to Grandpa, don't leave it here or it'll melt and go to waste, it's so expensive."
Ye Beiping emphasized the last three characters.
The elderly hate waste the most.
Upon entering the room, Ye Beiping saw his grandfather fiddling with his opium pipe.
My grandfather, Comrade Tao Jianqiang, was a heavy smoker; he even slept with his pipe in his hand.
"Grandpa?"
Hearing the voice, Tao Jianqiang looked up and saw it was his hooligan grandson. He snorted coldly, "Hmph, what are you doing here? Are you out of money again and trying to scam your grandma and uncle?"
Forehead......
Ye Beiping scratched his head helplessly and could only stuff the popsicle into Tao Jianqiang's hand: "Grandpa, I used to be quite naughty, but people grow up, you know. I've started earning money now, and I even help my mom and sister with chores. A couple of days ago, I went into the mountains and hunted a wild boar. I'll bring some wild boar meat over tomorrow so you can see it."
"Really?" Tao Jianqiang looked incredulous.
Actually, you can't blame Tao Jianqiang for this; it's just that Ye Beiping's reputation as a rogue has spread far and wide.
When people go out for a walk and mention their grandson, the first word they use is: "hooligan."
This made Tao Jianqiang, who had lived in Taoping Village all his life, feel extremely ashamed.
However, when wild boars were mentioned, Tao Jianqiang asked an extra question: "Do you even know what a wild boar looks like? And you want to hunt wild boars? What are you going to use to fight them, bare-handed?"
hiss!
Feeling the icy coldness in his palm, Tao Jianqiang gasped and looked at it: "Why is this thing so cold? What is it?"
Looking at his grandfather, who seemed like a playful old man, Ye Beiping explained with a smile, "I'm making money selling popsicles now, and I thought I'd bring a couple over to you, Grandma, and Uncle when I passed through Taoping Village."
"Hmph, you little brat, you have such a conscience?" Tao Jianqiang said with a hint of disdain, but his hands were very honest, and he had already started tearing open the packaging.
He licked his lips and smacked them: "This is the first time I've ever eaten an ice pop in my entire life. Tell me what you want. Since you gave me an ice pop, I'll grant you one request, but it can't be too much."
"Ha ha."
Ye Beiping was amused by his grandfather and went up to Tao Jianqiang to massage his shoulders: "Grandpa, I said I didn't want to. I've learned my lesson now. I will take good care of my mother and my sister in the future and won't let you, grandma, and uncle worry about me."
"When I make a lot of money, I'll build you and Grandma a big house, with a big yard, and..."
"Okay, okay, okay."
Tao Jianqiang couldn't listen anymore. He shrugged and shook off Ye Beiping's hand. "Don't give me any nice words. When will you find me a granddaughter-in-law and give me a big, fat great-grandson? Then I'll believe you."
"With your personality, girls would run away as soon as they see you."
In the countryside, the traditional way of life is to start a family and build a career.
Settle down first, then build a career.
In the hearts of the older generation, getting married and having children is the most important thing, the continuation of life.
Tao Jianqiang, needless to say, knew what kind of person his grandson Ye Beiping was. As long as he could marry a good wife and have children...
I guess they just believe Ye Beiping has changed for the better.
Ye Beiping was also quite helpless, as it seemed that his previous image had already been deeply ingrained in people's minds.
However, in order to change his grandfather's opinion, he secretly whispered something in Tao Jianqiang's ear.
Tao Jianqiang's eyes widened in surprise: "Really?"
"Why would I lie to you? Don't worry, it will be at most a year before I can hold your great-grandson and marry you the most beautiful granddaughter-in-law in the whole area."
Seeing that Tao Jianqiang seemed to have imagined the scene, Ye Beiping added fuel to the fire, saying, "When you go out, everyone will praise you, Comrade Jianqiang, you are so lucky that your grandson married such a beautiful wife. Even your great-grandson is so handsome, why doesn't my brat have such good fortune?"
"You brat."
The more Tao Jianqiang listened, the more something seemed off, and he angrily cursed Ye Beiping.
However, she was still very happy inside. She took a bite of her popsicle, glanced at Ye Beiping, and said, "You said it, you can't lie to me, or you'll never come into my house again."
"Okay, I won't lie to you." Ye Beiping was coaxing Tao Jianqiang like he was a child.
